Winter is almost here and it’s time to refresh our makeup bags with some exciting new trends. Whether you’re cosying up by the fire or heading out for a festive gathering, this season’s makeup trends have something for everyone.
Let’s dive into what’s cool for Winter 2024 and how you can rock these looks effortlessly.
1. Radiant Glow
Forget matte finishes for a moment. Winter is all about that fresh, dewy glow. Think of it as a way to brighten up those grey winter days. Opt for a lightweight, hydrating foundation or a BB cream with a touch of shimmer. The goal is to look like you’ve just walked out of a spa, all radiant and refreshed.
Don’t skip the highlighter; apply it on your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, and on your cupid’s bow. A touch of cream blush will also help you achieve that healthy, glowing complexion.
2. Bold Lips
When it comes to lips this winter, bold is the way to go. Rich, dramatic shades like deep burgundy, plum, and classic red are all in vogue. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a matte finish for a more intense look or go for a glossy finish if you prefer a touch of shine. Remember, with a bold lip, keep the rest of your makeup simple. A little bit of mascara and a swipe of highlighter are all you need to let your lips take centre stage.
3. Soft Smoky Eyes
A soft smoky eye is a timeless winter look that’s both elegant and versatile. Instead of the usual black, try using shades of brown, grey, or even deep green for a softer and more approachable look. Blend your eyeshadow well with the perfect eye brush for that seamless, smoky effect. Finish with a few coats of mascara to make your eyes pop. This look is great for both day and night, and works well with the warm, earthy tones in your makeup.
4. Glitzy Eyeliner
Who says you can’t add a bit of sparkle to your winter look? This season, glitzy eyeliner is making waves. Think metallic shades like gold, silver, or even holographic hues. You can go for a subtle sparkle by applying it close to your lash line or make a bolder statement with a winged eyeliner. This trend is perfect for holiday parties or any special occasion where you want to stand out.
5. Statement Brows
This winter, statement brows are making a huge impact. Think bold, well-defined brows that frame your face with confidence. This trend embraces a fuller, more structured look, moving away from the natural, brushed-up style. To achieve this, use an eyebrow brush to define and shape your brows with precision. Fill in any gaps to create a thick, polished look that stands out. Statement brows add a powerful touch to your makeup, making them the perfect way to balance out softer makeup looks or complement bold lip colours.
6. Subtle Contouring
Gone are the days of heavy contouring. This winter, subtlety is key. Lightly contour your face to enhance your natural bone structure. Use a cream contour that blends seamlessly into your foundation. The idea is to create a gentle, sculpted look without harsh lines. This technique will help you achieve a sophisticated, polished finish.
A Quick Tip – Embrace a Nourishing Skincare
Nourishing skincare isn’t just about keeping your skin healthy, it’s also crucial for making your makeup look its best. In winter, dry and flaky skin can make even the most flawless foundation look uneven. Start with a rich, hydrating moisturiser to create a smooth, plump base. A well-moisturised face helps make your makeup application more even and it stays on for longer.
